Publisher's Summary
A beguiling historical mystery set on the island of Sark and inspired by a real-life mystery, which remains unsolved to this day.
October 1933
With a population of five hundred souls, isolated Sark has a reputation for being 'the island where nothing ever happens'. Until, one day, the neatly folded clothes of an unknown man and woman are discovered abandoned at a coastal beauty spot. As the search for the missing couple catches the attention of first the local and then national newspapers, Sark finds itself front page news.
When young islander Phyllis Carey returns to Sark from England she throws herself into solving the mystery. As Phyll digs through swirls of gossip, ghost stories and dark rumours in search of the truth, she crosses paths with Everard Hyde, a surprise visitor from her past. As press coverage builds to fever-pitch, long suppressed secrets from Phyll and Everard's shared, shadowy history begin to surface.
